Rare Treasures

"Holy crap! You two are practically geniuses!"

The Spirit Pagoda master finally came to his senses and jumped in excitement.

Rubbing his hands together, he paced back and forth, the smile on his face so radiant it seemed ready to spill over.

His eyes gleamed with feverish light, as though he had discovered two uncut Rare Treasures.

"You are the two Soul Masters with the best spiritual power I've tested in fifteen years of work! There are no exceptions!"

He abruptly stopped, his gaze fixed tightly on Huang Feng'er, his tone full of amazement.

"Especially you, little girl!"

"Your spiritual power is actually 58 points! You're only two points away from reaching the High Spirit Origin Realm!"

"The High Spirit Origin Realm?"

Tang Wulin tilted his head, his face full of confusion.

He scratched his head and looked at the Spirit Pagoda master questioningly.

Jin Qiu had never explained the divisions of spiritual power to him.

It was not that Jin Qiu did not want to teach him; he simply did not understand Douluo Continent's complicated spiritual power system himself.

In his mind, spiritual power only came in two kinds: usable and insufficient. Where did all these fancy ranks come from?

Only then did the Spirit Pagoda master realize that the two children were just six years old and had not yet formally begun learning about Soul Masters, so naturally they would not know such things.

He quickly smiled and patiently explained.

"It's all right. It's perfectly normal not to know. Let me explain it to you."

"Our Soul Masters' spiritual power is divided into six major levels, from low to high."

He held up one finger and counted them out for the children one by one.

"They are the Spirit Origin Realm, Spirit Connection Realm, Spirit Sea Realm, Spirit Abyss Realm, Spirit Domain Realm, and the highest, the Divine Origin Realm."

"Simply put, every one of us is born with spiritual cultivation in the Spirit Origin Realm.

The vast majority of ordinary people can only remain in the Spirit Origin Realm for their entire lives."

"But the two of you have already reached this level of spiritual power at only six years old."

The Spirit Pagoda master waved his hand excitedly.

"You're like Rare Treasures! Your future achievements will surely be limitless!"

Tang Wulin and Huang Feng'er exchanged a glance, then both nodded as if they understood, though not entirely.

Seeing that they still looked somewhat lost, the Spirit Pagoda master continued explaining.

"Spiritual power in the Spirit Origin Realm corresponds to a range of 1 to 100 points."

"Below 30 points is the Early Spirit Origin Realm."

"30 to 60 points is the Intermediate Spirit Origin Realm."

"60 to 90 points is the High Spirit Origin Realm."

"90 to 100 points is the Peak Spirit Origin Realm."

He pointed at himself, a trace of pride appearing on his face, though there was even more wistfulness in his expression.

"Do you know? I'm thirty-seven this year and already a level 29 Grand Soul Master. I'm considered a somewhat renowned Spirit Pagoda master here in Aolai City.

But my spiritual power is only 88 points, barely touching the threshold of the Peak Spirit Origin Realm."

"Besides, high spiritual power is especially helpful when fusing with a Soul Spirit."

The Spirit Pagoda master's tone turned solemn.

"With your current level of spiritual power, let alone fusing with a Ten-Year Soul Spirit, even directly fusing with a Hundred-Year Soul Spirit would be completely fine! You wouldn't need to worry about suffering backlash from the Soul Spirit at all."

Only then did Tang Wulin and Huang Feng'er finally understand just how high their spiritual power was.

Tang Wulin's eyes immediately lit up.

So I'm actually this amazing!

No wonder Jin Qiu said it was fine for me to fuse with a random Soul Spirit.

Huang Feng'er's face remained expressionless, but the fingers clutching the hem of her tracksuit unconsciously loosened. A faint glimmer flashed through her golden eyes.

"Tch, what's so impressive about that?" Jin Qiu curled his lip in the Spirit Sea, looking utterly disdainful. "With me here, you'd be fine even if you directly fused with a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit. Those Artificial Soul Spirits put together aren't even as strong as one of my fingers. Backlash? Would they dare backlash against me?"

"All right, remember your spiritual power readings."

The Spirit Pagoda master walked over to the control console, picked up a pen, and quickly wrote something on a sheet of paper.

"I'll issue each of you an official spiritual power test report and stamp it with the Spirit Pagoda's official seal.

When you enroll in an intermediate Soul Master academy later on, just submit this directly. The academy will place great importance on you."

His pen raced across the paper. Because he was so excited, his hand trembled slightly, and the words he wrote came out somewhat crooked.

After finishing, he picked up a stamp and, with a smack, pressed a bright red Spirit Pagoda seal onto the reports.

Then he handed one report each to Tang Wulin and Huang Feng'er.

"Keep them safe. Don't lose them. They're very important."

"Thank you, sir!"

Tang Wulin accepted the report, carefully folded it, and tucked it into the pocket against his chest.

Huang Feng'er accepted hers as well, glanced at the number written on it, then casually slipped it into her tracksuit pocket in one crisp motion.

"Come on, I'll take you out."

The Spirit Pagoda master said with a smile, then headed toward the door first.

The moment the metal door opened, Tang Ziran hurried over. His face was full of concern as he rubbed his hands together and anxiously asked,

"Tangtang, Feng'er, how was it? Were the test results all right? Was there any problem?"

He had been waiting outside in a state of agonizing anxiety, terrified that something might happen to the two children.

"Don't worry! They couldn't possibly be any better!"

The Spirit Pagoda master spoke before they could, the smile on his face even brighter than before.

"Brother, you're truly blessed! These two children of yours are absolute geniuses!"

"Their spiritual power levels are unparalleled! I dare say that in all of Aolai City, you won't find a third six-year-old as impressive as them!"

Tang Ziran froze for a moment, then an incredulous delight appeared on his face.

He had originally thought it would be good enough if the children's spiritual power reached an ordinary level. He never expected them to be geniuses!

The weight in his heart finally lifted completely. He let out a long breath, a relieved smile appearing on his face.

"That's wonderful! That's truly wonderful!"

He said excitedly, reaching out to pat Tang Wulin's head before looking at Huang Feng'er beside him, his eyes full of pride.

"Let's go."

The Spirit Pagoda master waved to the three of them, signaling for them to follow.

"I'll take you to the place where you draw your Soul Spirits now.

With such high spiritual power as a foundation, even if you draw randomly, I'm sure you won't get a Soul Spirit that's too bad!"

As he walked, he continued praising the two children without stopping.
